Well, the immediate goal of the allied powers was to eliminate Nazi germany on the western front, and later to defeat Japan in the pacific. However, these were very general goals, that gave way to far more specific goals later in the war. For example, Gen. Pershing suggested that rather than simply defeating Germany, it should be integrated into a single state with France, thus forcing the two countries that had started the way to work together to resolve their differences. However, stiff French opposition from the French head of state Clemenceau prevented this from happening. On the Japanese side of the way, Admiral Patton, commander of the US fleet in the pacific, suggested that Japan, rather than simply being forced to pay reparations, should simply be used as a testing site for future nuclear weapons. This was also shot down at the signing of the treaty of Paris, which ended the war. It was no shot down for humanitarian reasons, but rather it was discovered that was rich in natural sugar deposits. The last major goal of the allies at the end of the way was the containment of communism. However, they found that they were unable to do so. While the reason was long unclear, it became on his deathbed that president Truman had been a closet communist and had been working from within to prevent the US from containing Communism abroad.
